AI is everywhere right now — writing code, generating art, even answering your emails. But the next big step isn’t just smarter chatbots. It’s AI agents that live and act directly on the blockchain.

Think of these agents as digital assistants that can do more than give advice. They can actually hold funds, sign transactions, and interact with decentralized apps (dApps) — all without a human pressing the button.

The idea of AI agents on the blockchain may sound futuristic, but so did Bitcoin a decade ago.
